Chapter 1828 You've Been Bad
What exactly happened here? In fact, Xiao Peng himself wanted to know.
He drank quite a bit at the party last night and had a pretty good time. As a result, while he was soaking in the hotel's oversized bathtub with some girls, drinking and playing games, the police showed up and accused him of confessing.
Xiao Peng was completely confused at that time.
What the hell are you talking about? Prostitution? Prostitution is illegal in Russia, but this is Siberia! If I don't unplug the phone, there are tons of people who'll come to my house and make calls, okay?
But it was indeed the police who came, and Xiao Peng's first reaction was: Damn, is this a government sting? Have the Russians also gone bad with traditional aesthetics?
The practice of "fishing" law enforcement is truly despicable. Generally speaking, the parties involved had no intention of breaking the law, but were tempted by law enforcement personnel and their informants to engage in criminal activities, or were simply framed.
The country has zero tolerance for this kind of thing. If something like this happens, the media and the public will definitely protest together, so basically all local departments have regulations prohibiting this.
But on the other side of the earth, this method of law enforcement is actually the most common one. The police, FBI, CIA, IRS... any department with law enforcement functions will think of using this method to enforce the law first.
The FBI often disguises themselves as buyers from China and conduct sting operations against Chinese companies in their own country, asking them to pay high prices for products on their country's restricted list. If they plead not guilty, they could face decades in prison. If they plead guilty, they could be jailed for dozens of months and fined, just to meet their KPIs.
The Department of Homeland Security's operation is also very impressive. They directly set up their own fake universities to crack down on the black intermediary industry for studying abroad.
The University of North Jersey in New Jersey is one such school: they collaborated with the US Department of Education to create a legitimate institution, then used unscrupulous agents to connect them with students. After two years and enrolling over a thousand students, they arrested and deported all the students who had been recruited through these agents, leaving them penniless. They pocketed all the tuition fees and other expenses, which helped boost their performance.
The immigration authorities also have their own fake universities, targeting visa fraud. For example, the University of Farmington is a legitimate institution, accredited by the Ministry of Education. However, it turns out they specialize in student visa fraud, where even working can lead to deportation.
The FBI is even more awesome. They built a child pornography website and published all kinds of information and pictures. They installed a small program on the website and would remember the information of anyone who visited the website and arrest them.
But what they are best at is catching P.
While prostitutes are practically everywhere in the US, selling sex is legal only in Nevada out of 50 states; it's illegal in all other states. Even the dancers in the ubiquitous strip clubs wear high heels. (In the movie "Need for Speed," Rami Malek's character, Finn, a mechanic, takes off all his clothes except for a sock when he quits his job. This is because being naked is illegal, but wearing socks is.)
The most common method used by the police there to meet their KPI is to catch P, after all, they are everywhere.
In order to catch clients, they would let female police officers pretend to be streetwalkers; or simply slip small cards into their mouths; some would develop prostitutes into informants to notify the police when clients came to their door; male police officers would also not sit idle, pretending to be clients to catch prostitutes.
In places like California, where the punishment is quite lenient, you don't even have to take off your pants. As long as both parties agree on a price, they can arrest people directly.
Of course, these are still just basic operations. The most amazing thing is probably the Bellevue Police Department.
The city of Bellevue is just on the other side of Seattle. It is a small city of less than 100 square kilometers and has a population of just over 100,000.
Because the city is too small and too close to Seattle, people go to Seattle to have fun, so there are no erotic venues in the city. This makes the police in Bellevue a headache: how can they meet their KPI if they can't catch criminals?
The solution they came up with was to post advertisements online to recruit prostitutes. They ended up arresting 110 people in seven days...
Of course, they also have their moments of failure.
Just a few days ago, a man in California went to P and entered the room with a woman named J. The woman immediately revealed her identity: "Excuse me, I am a police officer!" The man then took out his ID and said: "Excuse me, I am also a police officer."
The most outrageous fishing and car crash incident happened in 2017. The 11th and 12th Precincts of the Detroit Police Department both wanted to fish for drug dealers, but the two precincts did not communicate about this matter in advance. The police from the 11th Precinct disguised themselves as sellers to lure buyers, and the police from the 12th Precinct disguised themselves as buyers to lure sellers.
Then both sides hooked each other, and when the transaction was in progress, both sides flipped the table at the same time, and both felt that the other side deserved to die, so a fierce gunfight broke out, and ended with a police officer seriously injured...
When Xiao Peng encountered these policemen arresting him, his first reaction was: Have you also learned bad things and want to trick me?
He thought so because no one else caught him and let him go, only him was caught.
But of course Xiao Peng was not nervous at all.
Even if you say I'm a phony, so what? I can just fine myself a little. You can't kill me for this, right? At worst, I can contact Desarev and the others!
Besides, they were at that party with all the drinking and fooling around, and they were really tired after all that time, so it would be nice to go to the police station and take a rest.
So Xiao Peng did not resist, put on his clothes and followed him to the police station - it was really not worthwhile to attack a police officer for such a small matter.
He had already drunk quite a bit, and the wind outside made him feel extremely sleepy. When he got to the detention room, he crawled into his coat and fell asleep.
Suddenly, someone threw him off the bed and disturbed his rest. When he opened his eyes, he saw three strangers.
Xiao Peng was furious at the time: These three people must not know Kaxin, otherwise they would know how bad Xiao Peng's temper is when he wakes up!
These three people are obviously not police officers. Don't underestimate their disguise, but why is the iron door of the detention room still locked? You were also arrested and are so arrogant and disturbing my sleep?
What are you talking about? Beat him up first!
So Borisov and his two bodyguards experienced Xiao Peng's morning grumpiness.
Well, after moving around for a while, I feel a little dizzy again, so I lie back down and continue sleeping.
He was sleeping comfortably there, and Old Borisov and the others didn't know what to do: Go in and wake Xiao Peng now? That didn't seem possible. This person's identity was a mystery, but with so much attention from the higher-ups, he must be no ordinary person.
Well, let him continue to sleep. Let's find someone to get little Borisov and his two bodyguards out first.
